North Korean beauty products such as false eyelashes and wigs are being sold around the world as “Made in China,” aiding a recovery in its economy, Reuters reported. China-based firms are importing semi-finished products from North Korea, completing and packaging them before selling them to markets including the West, Japan and South Korea as “Made in China,” Reuters said, citing interviews with people from the eyelash industry, trade lawyers and North Korean economy experts. The process helps North Korea bypass international trade sanctions.
